I bought some pretty fabrics and read the directions, then started cutting out using my newly learned rotary cutting method. I cut and cut and cut for weeks. Then I moved. A few months later I found the box of cut fabric; re read the instructions and dug in to the new project. I had set up my sewing cabinet in the area for a washer and dryer in my new apartment. I had to use the dining room table to lay stuff out to pin, and then move it gingerly to the sewing machine. I read somewhere to chain piece similar parts, wow that made it quite a bit faster. After all the units/blocks were finished I just used my bed to lay them out in rows, one row at a time. It took about a year to finish the top, and then find a border fabric and packed it away to have it quilted. After moving again in 1996, I had a bigger area to sew, however by that time my crafting sewing business had grown and I had no time to take for this project. In 1999 My Mother found the bag with the finished top and took it to the Senior Quilter&#39;s to hand finish for my 50th B-day gift from her. Was I surprised when I received it, as I didn&#39;t even know Mother knew about where it was? Sew: my second quilt was a whopper </span></p>
